In China, students are excluded by the authoritarian regime for their political views. In Trumplandia, Chinese and other international students are excluded because of their universities' political views. Authoritarianism by another name.

Emily Thornbery MP backs March for abducted children of Ukraine in London. Saturday, 1 June @ukrainesol.bsky.social

The government is legitimising Reform with anti-migrant rhetoric while alienating long-time Labour voters by shifting to the right.

This won't defeat the far right, nor will it improve lives ruined by austerity - it's clearly a lose-lose strategy.

77 years ago, Jewish militias attacked and destroyed towns across historic Palestine during the beginning of the Nakba, meaning "catastrophe" in Arabic. In 1948, their actions forced nearly 75% of the Palestinian population to flee, tearing families apart and devastating entire communities.

One in five people in Gaza face starvation, famine watchdog warns The IPC says a full 100% of Gaza now experiences acute food insecurity while half-a-million people face starvation.

Watch and weep while the major powers stay silent in the face of Netanyahu's genocidal mission in Gaza. Have you spoken out? If not, why not?

It was great to recently meet with @citizensuk.org and constituents to discuss pathways to citizenship and what should be done to improve the current system.

Grigory Melkonyants, co-founder of Golos, Russia’s only independent election watchdog, has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for defending free and fair elections. His work threatened only one thing: Vladimir Putin’s grip on power.

Britain is running out of jail cells because it is locking up tens of thousands of people with drink and drug problems, mental health issues and low educational attainment. Try tackling these issues instead of building more prisons.

Labour has denounced me as ‘deeply misleading’ on its planning reform. I wish that were true | George Monbiot Even it now admits that brick by brick, these proposals will wreck habitats. This could be Starmer’s most damaging mistake yet, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

*Copy one of Boris Johnson's stupidest and most self-destructive policies.
*Ignore the massive wave of public fury it ignited.
*Smear and attack anyone warning that it might not be a great idea.
In this week's column I ask what the hell Keir Starmer is playing at.

John McDonnell backs March for Children of Ukraine, London June 1 @ukrainesol.bsky.social

Mussolini began political life in Italy's socialist party. Mosley was a minister in a Labour government before founding the British Union of Fascists. Starmer was a Labour prime minister who embraced racist, anti-migrant language...

Starmer & Farage chatting in Parliament

Racist language from Starmer as he tries to outflank Reform from the right:

The UK risks becoming an “island of strangers", “take back control of our borders”, close the book on a “squalid chapter” of rising inward migration.

Actually, it's "squalid Labour".

Stop Farage by taking the Assemblies road to people's power Reform’s humiliation of Labour and the Tories is the clearest indication that the UK’s political system is in a state of disintegration.

Reform’s humiliation of Labour and the Tories in the May 1 elections is the clearest indication that the UK’s political system is in a dangerous state of disintegration, requiring dramatic action based on taking democracy to a new level beyond the present system.

Gaza ‘to be entirely destroyed’ and people to leave ‘in great numbers’, claims far-right Israeli minister – Middle East crisis live Bezalel Smotrich tells gathering at West Bank settlement that Palestinians ‘will start to leave in great numbers to third countries’

Nakba 2025. Ethnic cleansing, pure and simple, blessed by Trump and ignored by Starmer, Macron and regional leaders. Another catastrophe for Palestinians.

We want peace, but we are not ready to surrender our land, our cities, or our people to the enemy! We want peace, but we are not ready to surrender our land, our cities, or our people to the enemy!

Israeli air strike destroys part of last functioning hospital in Gaza City The Israel Defense Forces said the hospital contained a "command and control center used by Hamas".

This is barbaric, bordering on the fascist. No wonder Netanyahu is feted by Trump who is turning the US towards totalitarianism.

More than 3m Britons to lose out from benefits cuts Families forecast to lose an average of £1,720 a year, according to official government analysis

Freebie Reeves, welfare slasher. Millions take a hit so that the government can appease the financial markets. What's the point of this Labour government?

I’ve seen video of IDF bombing Nasser Hospital, where a friend of mine is on a humanitarian mission to treat patients.

My friend survived the bombing but a teen patient he treated and who was set to go home today was murdered.

Are you warmongers not tired and sick of this yet? This horror

Starmer's project chainsaw The Starmer government's attacks on older people, the disabled, environmental protection and public services are inspired by Trump.

Starmer's government is a UK version of the Trump regime. RIP 'liberal democracy'.

Starmer is warned against ‘appeasing’ Trump with tax cut for US tech firms Labour MP and Lib Dem leader express concern social media companies could be let off hook just as benefits are cut

“This is an abject surrender, even before the government chooses tax cuts for big US tech and austerity for the most vulnerable. Frankly, it’s unacceptable.

Rather than move closer to Europe & stand together we’re allowing ourselves to be ripped off.”

Join the House of the People launch on Thursday. Time to build an Assembly as an alternative to our failing political system.

Lawyers condemn new wave of Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Governments everywhere, in contrast, are complicit by their silence.

Israel shatters Gaza ceasefire as more than 400 Palestinians killed in IDF strikes – Middle East crisis live Benjamin Netanyahu says attacks were carried out to ‘achieve war objectives’ as Hamas labels strikes a ‘blatant violation of humanitarian conventions’

The genocide resumes, backed by Trump amid silence from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Liz Kendall unveils UK benefits cuts set to leave many sick and disabled worse off Welfare secretary announces changes aimed at cutting bill by up to £5bn in face of opposition from Labour MPs

What a heartless right-wing government. What is the point of Labour? Anyone.

Benefits cuts now? What’s the point of a Labour MP who votes for something so cruel, tin-eared and short-sighted? | John McDonnell Treating disabled and sick people callously flies in the face of all the party stands for – the government must rethink its plans, writes the MP John McDonnell

This is not a 'Labour' government in any sense of its historic meaning. No wonder Trump is full of praise for Starmer.

Today is Ides of March. Am taking no chances & got new table.

Appalling, shameful but true.

“It should be humbling for every Tory thinker that we have been outflanked on the Right by Labour,” said Steve Baker, former minister under three Conservative leaders, in Telegraph article headed: Inside Project Chainsaw: How Labour copied Trump and moved to the Right

Not possible! We need a totally new system, where capitalism is a thing of the past.
